COMPARTMENT FRICTION-TO]? CAN.

To all whom it may concern:-

-Be it known that I, HARRY W. JoNEs, a citizen of the United States,residing in New York, in the county of New York and useful Improvementin Compartment Fric-, tion-Top Cans, of which the following is aspecification:

My invention relates to improvements 1n sectional orcompartment frictiontop cans. The object of my invention is to provide a sectional 'or-compartmentcan of a simple, elficient and durable construction, inwhich the bottom head of one section will serve as the closure for theannular head disk of the two sections together, and in which a gasket orpackingmay be interposed between the annular head disk of one sectionand the bottom head of the other section, and in which the upper orsupplemental section will have a suitable closure.

My improved can is especially designed forpaints having bronze or otherpowder intended ,to be mixed with the liquid paint shortly beforeusing,and which it is'desired should be kept dryand in a separatecompartment from the liquid paint.

My invention consists in the novel con-1 struction of parts anddevicesand in the novel combinations 'of parts and devices herein shownand described and more par-- ticularly specified in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing forming 'a part of this specification,Figurel is acentral vertical section of a sectional or com partment canembodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a. detail bottom, view of the upper orsupplemental section, partly in section or broken away; and Fig. 3 is adetail top view of the lower or main sect-ion,'Fig. 4 is a sectionalview illustrating a modification.

In the drawing A represents the bodyof the main or lower section, thesame having, preferably, a lock or other side seam a; B is the annularhead disk of said section and C friction seat wall :6, and preferablyalso a raised annular bead 6 The upper or supplemental section D ispreferably drawn or seamless, and is finished at its head part at I withan annular cap groove or flange 1Z to provided with a raised annularreceive a screw top G. The supplemental section D is furnished with acountersunkl Specification of Letters Batent. Patented J 11113 11, 1912,Application filed August 19, 1907. Serial No. 389,159. I

I I 1 g 4 bottom head F, having :1. depending friction seat wall fsnugly fitting the friction seat wall I) of the annular head disk B ofthe main section A and closing the opening therein, and also serving tosecure the two sections of the can together. The bottom head F of thesupplemental section D is also furnished with a rim portion f preferablybead f on its opposite side,.and a corresponding annular groove f on itslower face, and also a marginal curved retaining flange f for thepacking H which is interposed between the annular head disk of the mainsection and the bottom head of the supplemental section; The annularbead or shoulder f engages the lower end (i of the supplemental sectionD which is soldered or other- Wise secured to the bottom head F.

The screw top G is furnished with screw threads 9 and preferably with aninwardly projecting flange g at its upper end, and the same is closed bya' removable screw cap H g is a packing disk inserted between the screwcap H and the screw nozzle G of the upper section.

The curved flange f which retains the packing H on the bottom head F ofthe supplemental section, also in connection with the marginal flange bof the annular head disk B of the main section forms a crease forinsertion of an implement in prying off the supplemental section, andthus opening the main section.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 32 the bottom head F of theupper section has its externally projecting pry. oflirim f furnishedwith an upturned flange f which is folded over a marginal flange (Z onthe up per section D, the upper section being thus permanently securedto its bottom head F.

In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the

gasket or packing disk H is held in place simply by being clampedbetween the annular head disk of the main section and the bottom headdisk of the upper or supplemental section, the two head disks beingfirmly held together by the tight frictional gripping action of theirinterengaging annular friction. seat walls.

I claim:

1. A. sectional or compartment 'can comprising a main section and asupplemental section, both having openings located at their upper endswhen assembled, a removable closure forthe opening in the supple-.

' inner edge, said supplemental section having a body and a countersunkbottom head furnished with a friction seat wall cooperating with thefriction seat wallof' the main section and adapted to close the openingin the annular head disk of the main section, and securing the twosections together, the bottom head of said supplemental section havinganexternally projecting rim portion extending beyond the. bodythereof andprovided with an upwardly projecting annular.

shoulder fitting within the lower end of the body of said supplementalsection and the body of said supplemental section being secured at itslower end to said rim portion and extending upwardly therefrom.

2. A sectional or compartment can comprising a main section and asupplemental section, both of said sections being provided with openingsat their upper ends when aswall cooperating with gether, the bottomsembled, and a closure for the'opening in said supplemental section, themamsection having a body furnished with a depending frictiorfseat wallat its inner edge, said section having a body and a countersunk and anannular head disk supplemental bottom head furnished with .a frictionseat the friction seat wall of the main section, the opening in theannular head disk'of the main section and secure the two sections toheadof said supplemental section having an externally projecting rim portionextending beyond the body thereof and provided ;with an upwar projectingannular shoulder 'fitting within the lower end mental section, and thebody of said supplemental sectionbeing secured at its lower end dlyHARRY W.
